Salernitana – Roma

Roma should have no problems against Salernitana

Salernitana's rescue last season was nothing short of miraculous. The team that Davide Nicola took over in the winter produced the kind of finishing that few had done before. The team was on the brink of existence, missed out round after round due to coronavirus, but managed to beat Fiorentina, take points from Atalanta and not lose to their main rivals for survival at the end of the draw. Another creator of this success is worth mentioning - Walter Sabatini. The sporting director came to the club thanks to the new management and had a very good transfer window. But at the end of the season, Sabatini was sacked by the president, and not with the best record in his employment book. The Seahorses lost the creators of last season's success Ederson and Djuric in the summer. There are signings, but they are unlikely to cover the losses. The club mainly acquired previously loaned players. Nicola's men have already made an official start. The Seahorses lost 0-2 to Parma in the Italian Cup. Roma triumphed in the Conference League, but finished mediocre sixth in the league. A good reinforcement in the summer transfer window is an indicator of Seu Jose's confidence. "Wolves can expect Matic, Dybala, defender Zeki Celic and also Jorginho Wijnaldum. According to recent news, Andrea Belotti will join the club, which will undoubtedly further strengthen the attack. The only remaining problem, perhaps, is the defensive line (namely the position of central defender). But, against the backdrop of the restructuring of our main rivals, this problem may not manifest itself in the strongest way. All the more so because this has not prevented Jose Mourinho's side from having some success in the past. Among the top teams, Roma's reinforcements are arguably the strongest. At the same time, Salernitana's miracle is unlikely to be repeated a second time. Without the architects of success (apart from Davide Nicola) and point-blank reinforcements, the Seahorses are doomed to wander to the bottom of the table. For all his experience, even the experienced Ribery is unlikely to help the side. The Romans beat Salernitana twice last season. It won't be difficult for them to do it again. And in a very confident fashion.
